According to the police and a statement from the amusement park, the boy and a friend climbed over two 6-foot fences -- the park perimeter fence and a second one surrounding the ride -- to get to the roller coaster. Park officials said there were numerous signs warning would-be intruders of the danger.

Teenage boys are bound to do stupid things but they had to be near suicidal to get in the path of the coaster. Bad for the family and probably pretty unpleasant for the riders on the coaster because it is one of those where your legs dangle off into the air.
